Second biggest outstanding question I can think of: when did his younger son die?
November 1764! Exactly as we suspected: he's in the 1764 Berlin address calendar, living with his brother, and not in the 1765 entry, and by 1786, the older son is mentioned as the only living son of his parents. And remember, he was listed as baptized at home in 1745, because of illness.
Aww, that's sad. He was only 19. :/ And poor Ariane and Peter Carl Ernst Reinhardt, losing husband/Dad Peter in 1756 and son/brother Friedrich Ludwig in 1764. :(
ETA: I don't have a death date, but the burial date is Nov 17. Oh, interesting, looks like it was also the Nikolakirche! AWWW. (Not surprising, but remember that Ariane, as a great governess to the queen, was buried in the Parochialkirche.)
(So what happened is I asked cahn to go look through Family Search for these records, and she pointed out a lot of them come from Ancestry.com. After a bit of digging, I remembered why I had written off Ancestry.com years ago: too expensive for international records. I had forgotten the reason and thought it was because it didn't have what I needed. Well, now that money is no object (at least for one month), I have forked over and am on a genealogical rampage of my own!)
I have also accidentally found the burial record of Suhm's daughter who married a different (presumably distantly related) Lt. Col. von Keith: she died February 1785 and was buried in Neuwerk Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein.
